Stop trying to pawn Fensom off on us Canberra fans. Barnett is cheaper and better. You can continue overpaying Fensom.

Sad but true. Wish we'd kept Barnett.

Sad but true. Wish we'd kept Barnett.

He had a terrible first game for us last year but has improved every game since. He showed some decent ball playing yesterday and was close to our best. Hoping he has a big year.

2 weeks off for nose candy.

Gee, that seems reasonable.

Lucky it doesn't impact on his redemption story too much.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Maybe he'll go to French rugby for 2 weeks?

 

[myrrh ken]

why? his contract is already registered and he's probably getting paid.

been training too.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

All of that is true. The sytem works.

 

[Hawkins]

The story is wrong, we didn't hire big Dave to play we hired him as a seat filler for the one time of the year 9 has us on Friday night football.

 

[myrrh ken]

The sytem works.

No it does not.

How does this compare with Kyle Lovett getting 4 weeks for exactly the same thing?

Its favouritism.

Well for one thing, the punishment came from the Tigers.

Plus 1 of those 4 games was an Auckland Nine's game and another was a trial match. So in effect he's missing the same amount of NRL games.

 

[myrrh ken]

Tigers suspension was obviously sanctioned by nrl. I agree that the 9s and the trial games was included to beef up the penalty to 4 weeks.

But you have to admit 2 weeks looks bad. Sets a low water mark and looks disproportionate when looking at norman, barba, etc.

I didn't realise Dave Taylor was so close to calling it quits. He wasn't even going to play in QLD Cup, he had enough being away from his daughters that after his stint in Superleague he was going to call it quits and get a real job. Some people might think thats bullocks, but the story seems true. It was when he randomly ran into Ricky Stuart in a airport things changed.

[Wizardman]

Despite him not making the most of his career for a long time, the man has ability. I hope he actually gives the Raiders gig a crack. He looks very fit.
